Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (Updated Edition) by Anthony Bourdain

adventurous funny reflective medium-paced

4.5

Really solid in the first half. Personally, the middle dragged on a bit long but I don't think that was from misexecution. Really picked up from desert onwards, there was magic in the Japan, day in the life, and sous-chef chapters. The final chapter following the scars on his hands made me nostalgic for a life I've only read about. I want to be committed to something, to be so in love with the little moments of something is the best life has to offer.
